North Yorkshire Council has approved plans to build homes on green belt land between Harrogate and KnaresboroughHarrogate land agents Yorkshire Land submitted proposals for four homes and garages on a field opposite Moorlands Nurseries on Forest Moor Road in Calcutt. Yorkshire Land initially applied to develop self-build homes but revised this to two three-bed and two four-bed market homes during the application process. There are 14 areas of green belt land in England that are protected from most forms of development. This one-acre development site is located in a corridor of the Leeds green belt that separates Harrogate and Knaresborough. The council received 13 public objections, many of which expressed concerns about encroachment onto the green belt.
